GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Drama
LOGLINE:

It's like Greg is living in two realities: in one, he's fighting for survival in the ring, in the other, for a future at university, and he's trying to figure out which one is real until it starts driving him crazy.

SYNOPSIS:

Greg is a young man torn between two realities.

In one, he is a successful boxer, a champion who lives in luxury, but suffers from loneliness and the pressure of fame. In the other — a psychology student who works as a waiter to help his family with debts and dreams of finishing his studies.

Transitions between worlds occur in a dream, but each time they become more dangerous: blows in the ring are painful in "student" life, and humiliations from classmates haunt him in the world of boxing.

The realities begin to overlap: the boxer's reflexes show up in the student's fights, and the student's knowledge shows up in the boxer's world.

When doctors discover a deadly hematoma in the boxer's brain, Greg realizes that his double life is not an accident. With the help of a professor who studies the nature of time and death, he tries to solve the riddle of his dreams.

At the same time, Greg faces problems and betrayal at the boxing club, difficult relationships, expulsion from university and parental pressure.

The climax takes place on the rooftop, where Greg is teetering between jumping into the unknown and the chance to regain his integrity.

The finale leaves the question open: Greg wakes up in the hospital. The illusion of time collapses, leaving the viewer in suspense — has he managed to make a choice or has the loop of fate already tightened?

GENRE: psychological drama with elements of mysticism and a sports thriller.
